Extensive statistical analysis of the chances of landing on any
particular space on the Monopoly board. This is useful, eg, in
evaluating the potential income of a property. Further tables include
data on average income per roll of the dice for properties and other
spaces. It then includes advice based on this like: "The square most
landed on other than Jail is Illinois Avenue, and in fact a hotel there
will bring the most income other than a hotel on Boardwalk."

Over one hundred fifty years of court case transcripts from the Old
Bailey in London, starting from 1674. How would you react if you heard
someone breaking into your house? Now if you couldn't call the police?
Thomas White got his man and neighbors to help search his cellars
when it happened to him on 22 October 1780. This and many other
stories of the impact of crime on everyday lives are found here.

In 1870 Hiram Codd patented a bottle with a marble (ball) stopper.
This page provides a history of ball sealed bottles starting with
rubber balls used prior to glass Codd stopper and up until patents
issued in the 1940s.

In 1972 in Oklo, Gabon, while mining for uranium a very strange thing
was discovered: the fossilized remains of a naturally occuring nuclear
reactor. Later several other similar reactors were discovered, each
dating back about two billion years. This is one of the few sites I've
been able to find with explanations of the phenomenon and photographs
of the site.

This Library of Congress page has page by page scans of scrapbook kept
by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland author Charles Dodgson. The
book contains newspaper clippings, Punch cartoons, and text by
Dodgson. Additionally, the LoC has collected photos of people mentioned
in the text.

This site has mp3 files of the oral arguments in many important older
decisions: Miranda v Arizona (1966), Roe v Wade (1973), NY Times v US
(1971, the Pentagon Papers case), Loving v Virgina (1967), and a number
of less famous cases. These files are large, and not always very clear.

This collections bills itself as "Documents in Law, History and
Diplomacy". While some of the documents are purely of historical
interest, many have current legal standing in international affairs.
This is the place to go to find the text of the Dayton Peace Accords,
the peace agreement that ended the Bosnian war; the Hay-Bunau-Varilla
Treaty, which gave the US a chunk of Panama to build a canal; the
Good Friday Agreement, which has brought some peace to Northen Ireland;
and a wealth of many other documents.

This US Government site is usually the first one I turn to for
information about any particular disease. I love the blunt terminology,
such as this statement about when to keep kids with hand, foot, and
mouth disease out of childcare: "Some benefit may be gained, however,
by excluding children who have blisters in their mouths and drool or
who have weeping lesions on their hands."

Ed's Pathology Notes include a step by step discussion of the autopsy
process illustrated with 8-bit style doctors and subject. There are
notes on many other pathology and non-pathology topics, but not all of
pages have relevant content. A good source of links to other pathology
sites, though.

This page applies the big label formulas for royalties to values
you provide. Helpful if you are going to negotiate a recording
contract, and very informative for non-musicians to understand
the big label payment schemes that the RIAA is so vigorously
defending.

This website, structured after the standard "Latin name" taxonomy of
known to science living things, has entries on many thousands of
species, with many photographs, life cycle details, etc. I've looked
nearly all of the cephalopod pages.

The work of one dedicated ant researcher, this site has information
on the different species of ants. Emphasis is on those found in (but
not necessarily native to) California and Madagascar, but that is
not an exclusive focus. If you drill down, you can see some pretty
big pictures of these little bugs.
